what would be a good small business for a beginer?

Answer 1

The best business will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while you would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. Or someone may say cleaning, but if you don't want to clean your house then cleaning other people's houses will be even tougher

The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.

Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:

1. List 5 things you do best
2. List how others would benefit from what you do best
3. Find out how to give people what they want
4. Learn the value of your services to others
5. Find out who else offers similar services
6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success
9. Make low cost mistakes
10. Enjoy what you do and how you do it

He then made suggestions on the best home businesses according to type. Here are a few of them:

It's hard to say really, because every job big or small requires brains and some for one to be physically fit. Where do you fit? What can you do? Are you physically active?

You can also try and buy some magazines that really explain a few things on what small business to do than my spending the whole night and suggesting all sorts to you without any clue of what you are capable of doing with your brains or hands.

Good luck. If you are in SA try the SA guide book to business opportunities, it's a really good magazine

More than 1,000 people a day are joining M2C Global.
